I don't look for Gates to bail out.

Gates was a colorless, second-banana bureaucratic hack of the first magnitude when Obama asked him to stay on.

Anyone who accepts and appointment and works for Obama with his well-known no-victory, anti-military, anti-troops DNA is a sell-out and toadie of the first magnitude.

I'll grant Gates a minimum of slack for his first year when he undoubtedly thought he could make a difference in something or other.....but to stay on and on after every single revelation about the Usurper indicates his bent for the destruction of America and it's national defense, THAT is indefensible.

Hic, haec, hac.....I was appointed, I stayed, I'm still a HACK and I'll keep collecting my substantial salary.

Clinton appointed Sandy Burglar to the same position.

It seems the Dems see the post as a plum for toadies, lickspittles, hacks....and criminals.

Can someone here name an Obama appointee who is NOT a political hack?

Exactly. So are the Czars.

What are you talking about? It seems this Donilon fellow learned the arts of war and peace at the side of that stalwart man of iron, Warren Christopher. /s
